Reflecting on Jimmy Page, A Living Legacy

It-Might-Get-Loud-OS

We just saw the great documentary “It Might Get Loud” Directed by Davis Guggenheim this last weekend. It was so worth it, but mostly if you’re now or sometime in the past very into either Led Zeppelin, U2 or the White Stripes, or some combination of the above. Poster happens to be great as well.

I really like Jimmy Page and am completely inspired by what he did with the Led Zeppelin odyssey. Read the story of the band, it’s his thing, and how everything came together with John paul Jones, John Bonham and Robert Plant, all with Jimmy at the helm is a big part of his story. Reading a little bit about Jeff Beck, a session-cum-idol guitarist about the same age as Jimmy Page, will show you they had similar trajectories, but ultimately wildly different outcomes.

Some great images from the film:

I have a newfound affection for Jack White. He’s developed a very cool aesthetic and incidentally, this man can play some guitar.
